Sure, there's e-mail and Facebook and texting, but what about the hand-written card? Aside from the holidays, our mailbox is just filled with bills and junk.

So, why not send someone a card just to surprise them, rather than assuming they read your Facebook status?

Our favorite paper store, All She Wrote, is having its annual sale through February 13th. It's the only time of year they discount their custom stationery. Take 20 percent off stylish products from Crane & Co., Kate Spade and Lallie, just to name a few. Recently engaged or expecting a baby? Now is the time to buy those thank you notes.
